JACOB BROWN IN BOSTON.

The CoIored Wife Murderer Traced
 To This City-His Sudden Departure
 Finally Tracked To BOstO n-Post
 Mortem Examination of Mrs
 Brown.
 There is no chance of Brown, the Bridge port murderer, being found in this city now. The passage of the fugitive from Bridgeport to this city, as told exclusively in the COURIER yesterday, was made Tuesday eve- ming. On his return trip to Bridgeport on Wednesday, the conductor told Officer An derson, stationedsat the Bridgeport station, of Browns coming to New Haven the night before on his train, and when discovered on top of one of the cars jumped and ran towards the docks. Chief of Police Marsh immediately sent Officer Arneld to this city. He obtained traces of Browns further tray- els and followed them. Yesterday Chief Marsh received dispatch from Officer Arnold dated Boston. It stated that he had tracked Brown to that city and already had parties on the lookout for him.
 That Brown left Bridgeport on the 10:16 train the night of the murder and came to this city is established beyond doubt. At ten minutes past ten o'clock that night when Brown rushed into Langdon's gun store on Fairfield avenue and asked 0. E. Killing beck, the clerk, who was alone, to load his revolver. His hand and revolver were cover ed with blood. Brown said: Hurry up, l want to catch the 10:16 train" The pistol was immediately given to him loaded, and he rushed out of the store and down the avenue toward the depot.

POLO LAST NIGHT.

A Splendid Exhibition of Polo i'm
 Which Hartford Defeats New Haven
 to 3-The Rink Packed With PeO-
 ple-BrIdgepOrt Defeats Meriden 5
 to f.
 The polo game last night at Lincoln rink between Hartford and New Haven drew one of the largest audiences that has witnessed 8 polo game this season. Hartford sent down her best team and they were determined to win. They were accompanied by large party of packers, who waged considerable money on the game. The betting was even, although in some cases slight odds were given ou New Haven. The game began shortly after and throughout was intensely exciting. The game was rough and many fouls were made on both sides, but the ref cree refused to call them. At the end of the first inning both sides had made one goal. In the second inning each side made two goals and the score was tied. The "play- of" was begun, both teams doing their utmost to secure goal. Meqard of Hart ford got the ball and caged it, winning the game foI Hartford. Although New Haven was defeated, her playing with one excep tion surpassed that of Hartford. Reed of New Haven played poor game and made but four stops, while Riley of Hartford had twenty-one. Cunning did not play his usual good game. The best playing for New Ha. ven was done by Hallett, Connors and Smith.
 The summary of the game is as follows:

HOSPITAL AFFAIRS.

New Cases-The Largest Number of
 Patients They Have Had This
 Kear-Proceeds of the Charity Ball.
 John Corners, lad twelve years of age, was brought to the hospital yesterday after noon from Ansonia. He was sliding down hill and run into post. He was quite bad ly and it is feared seriously injured.
 Philip Rogers, a Scotchman, on the North ampton road here, was taken to the hospital very early yesterday morning. While coup ling cars he had his right hand smashed. Some of the fingers had to be smputated.
 There were at the hospital last night 125 patients in all. This is the largest number there have been there this year. Two days during last December there were 127 patients. The number quartered last night is an un- usually large number. They all get good care and as kind treatment as it is possible to give.
 General E. E. Bradley sold $244 worth of tickets for the charity ball. He did nobly. It was by far the largest amount taken in by any one member of the committee of 12O who sold tickets. The next largest amount received for tickets sold by one person was $16O, by ex-Mayor Lewis. To- day Treasurer B. R. English expects to send check for $1 $50 to the hospital authorities as the net proceeds of the ball. The total expenses were S1 .279 29

An Interesting Exhibition Yesterday.
 Dr. H. K. Whitner gave an exhibition yes- terday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, at the plat form of James Denver, master car builder of the Consolidated road, of his new air brake invention, showing how derailed car would act with his tangible vent, which stops the car by automatic action. The cars were backed at full speed, and the locomotive un- coupled. The obstruction hit the vent the same as if the car was derailed. The cars stopped instantly.
 The Whitner frangible brake automati- cally applies the continuous air brakes of both the pressure and vacuum types when an axle is bent or broken, when wheel is broken or displaced, when pedestal, journ- al, springs or timbers of truck are displac- ed, and at the first moment of derailment. It promises to be great success.

ON THE CAMPUS.

Topics of General Interest Among the
 Students-The Freshman Mine Prac.
 tfce Dafly-'9O's Statistics-The Sec
 ond Day of the Winter Games.
 The Banjo club will have their photographs taken at Pach's this afternoon.
 The freshman nine has taken great brace since the election of their new captain. They are kept in strict discipline and practice daily. Games have been arranged with Am herst and Brown, while in all nine challenges have been sent to the different colleges.
 Some of the statistics of go recently pub lished by Dr. Seaver are very interesting.
 The following are few of them: Age (at en- trance) IS years Il months; weight, 1929 pounds; oldest man, 30 years and months; the youngest, 15 years and 10 months; the heaviest man weighs POT pounds, the lightest 90 pounds; the tallest man is feet 2ss inches high, the shortest feet 5s inches. A little over IS per cent. use tobacco.
 The Dwight Literary society and the Sophomore Debating club held their regular
 Thursday evening discussion last night. The second series of the Yale winter games will occur to o-morrow and will be s'Ladies' day." The contests will be of 8 lighter
 kind than that of Wednesday evening and are sure to attract large mum Der to the rlnk. The first Kent club lecture will occur next l Monday evening and will be delivered by | Professor o. S. Johnson of Hartford on ''New England Colonial Literature. 7"
 Interest in base ball is active at Amherst college, and nineteen men are in training for l the nine. Stuart, Marble and Coates, three
 of the best players on last years nine, have
 left college, but new talent has been devel- oped, and their places will probably be
 made good. As yet but few of the places
 have been definitely filled. The Springfield Re publican says Davidson '8S will play first
 base, and Phillips 'Ss will play short
 stop and captain the nine. The pitch ing will be done by Turner '89, while Heating '87 and Judson '88 will probably be the substitutes. Judson is also trying for second base and is pretty sure of place on the team. Alvord '87, Stearns and Oldham 'ss, Dieken 's9 and Pope go are competing for the catcher's position, but the result is still uncertain. Marbles old position at third is likely to be filled by MeLennan '87,
 who played last year on the Oberlin team, or
 by Pope go. Dickerman 'S6 is back in col lege and training again. The outfelders will be chosen from Storrs 'S9, Belcher '89. Dick erman 'S6 Oldham '87 and Houghton go.

The Hume Controversy.

The Hume controversy has furnished the religious as well as the secular press with much to write about, and the ingenious edi- tor of the Christian Register gets off the fol- lowing burlesque charge to Brother Hume, of this city, apropos of his return to mis- sionary work. It is dated at the Charming building and opens in this fashion:
 Dear Brother: You about to return once more to your field of labor in distant India. You go back to pluck up the weeds which may have grown apace in Your absence, and to anew the seed of gospel truth You go forth missionary SD inter of the American board to carry the same lurid gospel that has famed in it's torches for the last seventy-ive years Be careful that you do not substitute the electric light of Universalism fer the pineknot of orthodoxy. Remember that your gospel is not for the many, but only for the few. How know but nothing can be more certain than that the proportion of the saved is small compared with the number of the lost. Do not be discouraged therefore if you have but few converts. The very fact that your converts are few in number may be a proof that you are preaching the A. B. c. F. M Cospei in all the wealth of it's terrors.
 Tt is impoI Itant that you should beware of stumb- ling into the slough of rationaistic sentiment and Iachrymose pity which you exhibited at the Ando- yer dinner in regard to the fate of dead pa2ans T end which caused such alamentable gush of maud lin feeling in the United States.
 The "charge" concludes with sundry lurid auotations from Jonathan Edwards which it recommends be translated into Marathi for the benefit of the Indian heathen.

LAURA BALE LOST.

She Left New Haven i'm a Railway
 Car and May Have Then Become
 Insane.
 The COURIER received last night from MT. F. A. Bale, 569 East 158th street, New York city, request to publish the following which appeared in the New York Herald of yester- day, March 3d:
 The police were yesterday notified that Miss Laura Bale, of No. 569 East 158th street, was missing. The girl lived with her uncle, Frank A. Bale. On January g she went to visit relatives at New Haven. After remaining in that city until the 31st, she started on a visit to friends in Hartford, leaving New Haven on the accommodation train starting at fifteen minutes past three o'clock on the afternoon of Monday, January 31. AS the train moved out of the depot Miss Bale waved her handkerchief at hel smiling relatives.
 NEVER REACHED HER FRIENDS.
 Her friends at New Haven supposed that Miss Bale had reached her destination in Hartford. It was only a day or two age that the family discovered that the girl had never been seen or heard of after she left New Haven. No trace of her has yet been discovered.
 Miss Bales trlends are very much excited and fear that she has become insane and if lying sick somewhere. The girl was young and was not likely to have contracted any love affair which might end in an elopement Her companions were mostly girls with whom she worked in an uptown store. The only ex plsnation of her strange disappearance that her uncle can imagine is that she has lost he1 mind. Miss Bale suffered from prolonged attack of hysteria some time ago. While she WAS in New Haven her relatives noticed that she was very absent-ninded and acted qEeerly.
 WHAT MISS BALE LOOKED LIKE.
 Here is description written by friend ot the family:
 Miss Bale was sixteen years of age, light complexion, large dark eyes and light brown hair and slight build. When last seen she wore a dress of plain blue woolen goods, with side panel of fancy striped material; vest of fancy striped goods, with three straps of plain blue across front of waist; brown and black checked outside garment, cut short and close fitting; tall brown felt hat with brown bird and brown velvet for trimming, and brown kid gloves. She had a large square package and carried a small black shopping bag in her hand. Miss Bale was pale and delicate looking, her health not being very robust. She was exceedingly nervous and on one or two occasions has shown symptoms of temporary alteration of mind"

 MT. R. A. Beers, of the firm of s. E. Merwin & Son, was very handsomely sur prised yesterday afternoon at his office by employees of the firm, twenty-five in number, connected with the State street de- partment of the company's business. As Mr. Beers has just moved into his tasteful new residence at the corner of Orange and Humphrey streets the occasion was thought befitting one for the presentation of tes- timonial of the employees regard and esteem, and Lieutenant Newcomb M. Bassett in be- half of the assembly presented him with a very handsome cherry rocker upholstered in olive green plush and in doing so made a very neat and witty speech. The affair was 8 very pleasant one.

Sneak Thierea at work.

A residence on Elm between Orange and Church streets was entered last evening and a robbery to the extent of from seventy five to a hundred dollars was committed. The thief entered bedroom and took from a bureau drawer pocketbook, brokeit open and appropriated the contents. Several small articles of jewelry were taken from the bureau. A novice was evidently at work for articles of much greater value were left which might have been easily taken.
